Answer:

x = 59° , y = 44°

Explanation:

See the attached image below ,

Since the whole angle is 180° we can write it like this ,

(2x + 18)° + (x - 15)° = 180°

2x + x + 18 - 15 = 180

3x +3 = 180

3x = 177

x = 177/3

x = 59°

and now for y,

y = (x - 15)° CORRESPONDING ANGLES PROPERTY

y = x - 15

y = 59 - 15

y = 44°

x = 59, y = 44

2x + 18 + x - 15 = 180
3x + 3 = 180
3x = 177
x = 59

x - 15 = y
59 - 15 = y
44 = y
